Media Tasting @ The Happy Hooker

I confess – ever since The Happy Hooker (@HappyHookerTdot) opened its doors to the public in the Dundas West area, I’ve wanted to go check them out especially seeing mouth watering pictures of their tacos & the surf and turf sandwich. However, every attempt I’ve made to go, something unexpected happens throughout the day which prevents me from visiting. Lucky enough for me, last week I attended their media tasting and had the opportunity to sample many popular food items off their menu. UNlucky for me – I had to leave early and totally missed out on the lobster roll that everyone appears to be talking about – I should really go back JUST for that.

Once you walk into the Happy Hooker – its a room decorated with a very vintage feel – an old type writer – a fixated large machine of pacman and a few vintage pictures hung on the wall The menu for the evening was printed on a nice piece of legal paper – all of us were sitting tightly anticipating each course after the next…

I ended up leaving the tasting before a few others and while this was happening, they were serving the Lobster Roll. Unfortunately I wasn’t unable to try this but all the tweets and instagram pictures had got me drooling *sigh* the power of social media! Regardless, I quite enjoyed the shrimp po’boy and the baja fries – but will definitely be back to try THE lobster Roll 🙂 Be sure to follow them on Twitter for special deals – Last Friday, The Happy Hooker offered $2 fish and chips!
